Morningstar screwed up right now for anyone else? 12:56 p.m. 18th May '18
It tells me I'm logged in, and that if I'm experiencing trouble, to use the link I'll be redirected to, but it does not take me there. Using my bookmark, it brings me to the sign-in page, but I am quickly redirected to a junk page. I guess it's their home-page. Links from THERE do indeed work. ORK.
Share the link? No, it's just completely all discombobulated. Constant re-directs with never any result. It's an endless loop of screw-ups right now. I can get to the homepage, but after that, it's quite dysfunctional. From the homepage, I click on "my portfolio," and the sign-in page comes up, but then there's a quick re-direct to something else. If I want to type-in the ticker for a particular security, it WILL allow me to do THAT. But ANYONE can do that, without signing-in. And I'm supposed to be getting PREMIUM, offered through TRP. And when I attempt to go to the discussion forum labeled "Morningstar.com" to register the problem THERE, it flips me out of there before I can begin typing.
Hi Crash, I've been having what sounds from your descriptions similar flameouts, primarily due to login protocol issues, getting kicked out every time I move from one of the new pages to one of the old ones (e.g., Discuss). The login screen that comes up from the old pages jumps in and out at less than one second intervals, so impossible to use. The site's basically useless when it's in that mode, but login ability is in and out, so it's a different "experience" every time I try. The India help desk is no help, either.
@AndyJ "The India help desk." FUNNY. Oxymoron, there. Anyhow, my premium service is through TRP. I called THEM, and I was told they'll "see what they can do." Even the complaint-forum at Morningstar.com ("Discuss") isn't working. So you and I are unable to even ALERT them via that tool.

First, I stopped reading at "Morningstar screwed up..."
More seriously, I have been experiencing what you did frequently. Serves me right for having a free membership through TRP.

P.S. The "Remember Me" feature at login is totally non-functional; seems to be the only thing that's been consistent for the past several days.
